How to turn the airbag light off? 

There are many ways you can turn the airbag light off- restarting the car, test driving it, and fixing any other error codes are all viable solutions. However, before you start fixing it, it’s important to identify what’s causing it. Here are the common causes and fixes: 

Causes  Fixes 
The onboard computer is failing to read the airbag sensors  If it’s a reading error by the onboard computer, most of the time, it can be fixed by restarting the car. 
The passenger airbag switch is OFF  Turn on the passenger airbag switch. 
The system was not reset after an accident  In the aftermath of an accident, the entire airbag system will be locked up. In that case, the system should be reset. A professional can help replace the components, clear crash data, and recalibrate the sensors. 
Seatbelts not buckled in  Buckle in the seatbelt properly. 
Other error codes  Use an OBD scanner to find any error codes and fix them.
